[Verse 1]

Walk down the red carpet, where the stars at

Leave like I'm red carded, I departed

In amongst being bombarded I carted

Myself off starboard, I never need targets

I'm playing my part to enlarge it (to enlarge it)

And put a middle finger up to the sergeant (to the sergeant)

Make your best bet known in debt to the bone

Take it home by a handsome margin ('cos you know)

It's not what I thought when I started (when I started)

Not the expectation I harboured (that I harboured)

And the temptation for the sensation

Ain't a damn thing changed in the market (that's right)

I follow in the footsteps charted (charted)

Me and dad did it different like Javed (like Javed)

Yo I owe 'em no cents but a distant sense

So I ain't being that boy you can bark at (boy you can bark at)

Even if I get sent through the juicer

And they got me by the balls like super (like super)

I might not get the treatment I'm used to but

I refuse to participate like a rooster (oooh)

Meaning no crowing at dawn or mowin' no

Lawn for the big shot if I can get a flow in that scorn (that scorn)

Only take a minute for the temperature to warm

And I ain't bein' backed up by brawn (backed by brawn)

That's what I love, learning from the wrong way

Even when I have to navigate around the long way (long way)

Don't believe a word that the song say

Kill em by the entree, bricks of the city of Pompeii (way, way)

Drop like the crash of 0-8 where they weigh

Blue chips as they would a featherweight

They rise they fall and they speculate all

But they won't be with you when you hit the wall (one and all!)

[Hook]

You think that you had it all worked out

With a - with a bluff it'd turn out

V can be for peace or fuck you

We prepared for each so fuck you

And you call me uncivilised

Now the V gotta be reversed

It's my middle and index served

It's my middle and index served

[Verse 2]

I ain't in the business of owing you a cent (you a cent)

Think that I'll beg no chance you can bet (you can bet)

Many souls get sold cold for the debt (for the debt)

They ain't got control when the appetite whet (when the appetite whet)

Call it what ya will I'll be cool with the pride (cool with the pride)

On your own now I ain't down with the slide (down with the slide)

Thought that you had it worked out yeah right (yeah right)

Had it all worked out inn't that nice? (inn't that nice?)

Can I get a cheque? That's what we get (what we get)

Get for the blood for the blood for the sweat (for the sweat)

Can we get a cheque hell yeah we can get a cheque

We can get a cheque, we can get a cheque

Can I get a cheque? That's what we get

Get for the blood for the blood for the sweat (for the sweat)

Can we get a cheque hell yeah we can get a cheque (get a cheque)

We can get a cheque (get a cheque), we can get a cheque (get a cheque)

Y'all think that you had it all worked out

With a - with a - with a - uh

Y'all think that you had it all worked out

With a - with a - with a bluff right, yeah

Y'all think that you had it all worked out

With a - with a - with a bluff right, right

Y'all think that you had it all worked out

With a - with a - don't think though - don't think though

[Hook]

You think that you had it all worked out

With a - with a bluff it'd turn out

V can be for peace or fuck you

We prepared for each so fuck you

And you call me uncivilised

Now the V gotta be reversed

It's my middle and index served

It's my middle and index served
